Bean Rock Lighthouse, Auckland, New Zealand

The unique Bean Rock Lighthouse is located on a rock (The Rock of Kepetawa / Te Toka a Kapetawa) to the west of the entrance to the inner harbour at Auckland, New Zealand and south of North Head. The lighthouse dates to 1871 and consists of a 15 metre cast iron skeletal tower with a hexagonal wooden keeper's quarters above with a gallery at the top. The lighthouse was restored in 1985. Photos taken in April 2017.

About Me

Someone asked me, "What is it you love about lighthouses?'
I guess it is because seeking out lighthouses as a hobby combines so many things that I enjoy: travel, the sea, being outdoors, photography and history.
So, having a lighthouse blog, allows me to share my love of lighthouses with others. Each post will be about a different lighthouse that I have visited and have photographed over the years. I hope you enjoy. I have also started a bird blog for the birds I have photographed (August 1, 2013).
